The Standards for Evaluation of Names and Armory:The Rules for SubmissionsDesigns identical to those used by or suggestive of groups like the Nazis, the SS, the Ku-Klux Klan, orsimilar organizations may not be used. Some elements that were inoffensive in period may be offensivebecause of modern associations. Some designs are offensive because of individual charges: a swastika isinherently offensive because of its association with the Nazis. Others are offensive only in the overalldesign. The s-rune is not offensive as a charge, but is offensive in a design which closely resembles thatused by the SS.5. Other Offensive Armory: Other sorts of armorial designs may be ruled offensive on a case by case basis,such as one that mocks armory registered to another group.Standards for Evaluation of Names and Armory – April 29, 2012 - Page 73 of 73
The Standards for Evaluation of Names and Armory:The Rules for SubmissionsAppendix A: Patterns That Do Not Need Further Documentation by Language GroupThis appendix lists patterns for naming that do not need further documentation. For the patterns listed below, mention of the pattern and of this appendix is sufficient todocument the pattern. Patterns not listed here need further documentation, often including examples. For languages not listed here, all patterns must be documented.Bynames in many of these languages require grammatical changes to elements. Those changes are not explained here; refer to the listed sources for instructions oncreating the correct forms. Each element within this construction must still be documented. Any grammatical changes must be documented as well.For more information about types of bynames, refer to Appendix B.In the table below, name patterns are written using a consistent system:• N is the given name of the person bearing the name in the nominative case.• B, C, etc. are the given names of relatives or ancestors of the person bearing the name.• X is used to indicate a place name or region; Y is used to indicate a generic toponym (e.g., 'the woods' or 'the dell'); Z is used to indicate the charge or other namein an inn-sign type location (e.g., star or lion).• Unmarked means "using the element – location, father's name, etc. – in an unmodified form as a byname;" marked for bynames means using a term such as "son"or "daughter" often with a modified form of the father's name. Using a modified form of the father's name without any other marker is labeled as "genitivealone."• In "order," byname means "any byname described to the left." Pat = patronymic byname; Loc = locative bynameFor example, N filius B would be 'N, the son of B' or 'N, B's son'. N de X would be "N from X".Boxes that are unmarked or patterns not listed require further documentation to use that pattern. "Rare" means that such names are sufficiently rare that a constructed, asopposed to attested version, of such a byname generally requires the help of an expert in that language to determine if it is plausible.ArabicDoubleGivenNamesLocative Patronymic Other relationship Descriptive/OccupationalDictus DoubleBynamesOrderArabic No Adjectival;al-[adjectivalform of placename].For men ibn B "sonof B"for women bint B"daughter of B"Multi-generationalpatronymics; AbūB and Umm B(where B is thechild’s name)al-[occupationor descriptionor ethnicgroup]Notes: Locative and descriptive bynames must match the gender of the person described; see articles below for more details.No Yes Multiple possible variations; seearticles below for moreinformationDiacritics (long marks, emphatic marks, etc.) may be used or omitted as long as it is done consistently; see Appendix D for more details about transliteration.Please refer to Juliana de Luna, "Arabic Names from al-Andalus" (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/juliana/alandalus/) or Da'ud ibn Auda, "Period Arabic Names andNaming Practices" (http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names/arabic-naming2.htm) for additional information.Rules for Submissions - January, 2012
